- Hey all of you!
Thank you for being here again. I can't believe this happened. Its a huge moment for us and he did sooooo well! I rode him one more time on the neck rope after and he is getting better and betterrrr! Just am so exciting to feel how much he loves doing this. He deserves all the love and happiness.
Thank you so much for watching and being here xx

I'm from Portugal, and watching you ride our national breed horse just warms my heart. Lusitanos are my favorite breed and it aches me seeing them get man-handled over here, double bits, huge shanks, chains, metal nose bands, tie downs, spurred to hell..... the horses are always "dancing" cause theyre so uncomfortable and in pain. I absolutely LOVE all Gaio content. You've given this horse another life!
Luzzie - that's so sad & breaks my heart to hear. Does Portugal have any Animal Protection groups or organizations? Wish there would be a Public Media campaign & shining a bright light on the terrible abuse. There are so many better ways to train & positive training always works best to have a sane & centered horse. Hope you can spread awareness to change their old school/ Dinosaur ways.
I can only confirm the abuse. My uncle was a Lusitanos breeder and he did bullfights . 😔
@@ltyqui - 😡💔
Não vale pena mencionar só os aspetos maus. Há muito boas pessoas a cuidarem bem dos seus cavalos. Parece que cá são todos maus e lá fora tudo é perfeito. Não é assim. É pena serem os próprios portugueses a insistir na divulgação do que cá está mal.
@@ltyqui não há nada de bom cá.? O mau lá fora já é conhecido. Era bom que divulgássemos o que corre bem.
Jesse you have shown SUCH empathy and kindness to Gaio after he came from an enormous amount of stress and pain, forse and fear. You've taken such love and belief in him with all your groundwork, allowing him to be his playful self while showing him the gentler and more relaxed chapter of his life with you.
I see he's incredibly smart and intent to please, but all in all, I see that he has a great deal of love and respect for you and doesn't want to do anything that could hurt you. He really wants to care for you and show you he appreciates all our doing for him.
By removing the "aids" that he's associated with pain such as spurs and now the bit and the bridle even, I feel he has so much understanding of your body and the connection flowing through you to him and back to you, you become one with the horse. There is no other sport or animal-human relationship like it.
By taking off the bridle you showed him a level of trust and compassion and I feel he understands that far more than people realize. He too knows you have no brakes, not the brakes he has been used to before he came to this new life of compassion.
One big thing people watching should take away from this, is the sensitivity of a horse to the slightest pressure from your leg. You have no spurs on, and you aren't carrying a whip or crop, and just the smallest quick squeeze and release of a muscle in your thigh he is feeling through a saddle and a quarter inch saddle pad. If that isn't enough to show people that rolling spurs and giant long shanked bits and yanking on a horses reins or kicking them is SO intensely painful to them and completely unnecessary and counter productive.
To see you not move a muscle and bring Gaio into a rounded collected trot was beautiful for a horse who has been through so much abuse and danger and force to fight animals that are literally 4 times hiss size and trying to kill him.
He's so happy. He's so relaxed and eager to make you proud.
You're a very special person and Gaio is so lucky you came into his life at just the perfect time. I really hope you get his owners to let you be his permanent owner because you would be a forever wonderfully loving home for him and would take him as far as he can go in whatever capacity that may be for you both.
Perfectly said!
Awww... yes! Everything you described are instruments of terror & pain. It is my prayer that Jesse can show Gaio a different way - one of love & mutual respect. Gaio has so much power , I think he needs a warm up & then lots of cantering/ gallops.... and THEN into the arena to ride with the Nylanta bridle & finally, the the Neck rein.
I totally agree with all of this, except the bull/horse size ratio. Which is actually irrelevant to this very true and very beautiful recognition of Jesse’s wonderful heart and the amazing bond that continues to develop between he and Gaio.
Everything I wanted to say...
You have summed that all up perfectly.
What a joy it is to watch Jesse’s emotional connection to Gaio and vice versa.
Jesse's instincts are SO GOOD. That's something certain people are just born with.
Matt and Jesse talking about the gate😂
“Maybe you can close it”
*Well do you wanna come in first?*
😂😂😂
😂
They always crack me up!
So funny! “Chaos! I feel this is going to be utter chaos. Oh, it’s starting already!” 🫣🤭😂🤣🤣🤣🤗🥰 I’m in tears!! 🤣🤣 Must trust Jesse!! He is the true horse whisperer in my book and I think Gaio truly loves him.
Gaio, clearly, loves the freedom he is given with Jesse handling him. This is is a beautiful video!! You two are hilarious! The Jesse/Matt dynamic is equally as entertaining. 🤣🤣🤭
"I believe in him"; not something I've heard many people say at all, especially to their horse. You are amazing, Jesse. You can really make the world a better place.
So well noted❤
Gaio is so beautiful!
Gaio, "these flowers are yummy."
Matt, "oh, no!
Jesse, " It's autumn" ...
Gaio "hehehe"
😂🙌
I did the same thing. 😂😂😂
Also, the more you cut flowers, the more flowers will bloom. Uncut flowers produce seed for next year, and quit blooming.
Matt's comical comments and trust in actual Jesse's talent is so much fun to watch. We always hear Jesse comical responses behind the scene on Matt's videos ,but these two are so much fun to watch together
He almost completely stopped his nervous lips towards the end. MY HEART.
Matt was so sweet worrying about Jesses safety 🥺
And yet also Matt has learned to trust Jesse's intuition/horse sense which was also nice to see. I like that Jesse asked Matt to be present for safety & second opinion & guidance but that the two of you both listened ultimately to Jesse's intuition and sense of Giao's energy. Bravo. Perfect balance. You two must know from your work with your horse communicator that horses work with images so when you want to do something, especially when it's something new like this, spend some time imagining the behavior you seek. It may help even to watch a video of the thing you seek and say "hey, Giao, like this! See what this horse is doing? I want you to try that, I think you'll be a great success at it and enjoy it a lot!". You'll get really good results when you make use of knowing your horse is telepathic. (You know how everyone says a horse senses fear, well of course, but more than that, they see the thing you are afraid of and in doing so, you make it more likely to manifest.) Thus, when you are afraid they will buck, imagine them calm. Counter your own fear with your desire. xo Poonam, USA
Gaio looked happy with the neck rope. So exciting. Well done, Jesse!
🙃🙃🙃🙃
„With you I learned to expect the unexpected“ You two are really hilarious! Matt seemed very much concerned for you Jesse! 😅 I actually had tears in my eyes. Gaio was doing so amazing! As you wrote „my horse“ - is Gaio now fully yours? I would celebrate because you two belong together. You have helped him so much during these two years! Gosh, I was so touched to see both of you harmonizing so well!
I fully agree with this. What a match!
Gaio was so proud of himself! You could see his body felt good unconstricted, and he was loving this interaction. He is starting to fully trust that nothing bad will happen to him. I think Jesse is an angel who decided to stay on earth to help animals, and of course, horses give us wings. 👼🐎💚
I was thinking Jesse was sent here a be an Animal Light Worker, such a special person with animals. Love and light to them all.
At the end, when he was trotting, he completely stopped his nervous lip movement. I got tears in my eyes. Goed zo!
Who is this Jessie? Super Human? Kindest man ever. Respect
Your skill . Well done sir .
I'll second that!!! 💥😀💥
am so PROUD! of Gaio, Jesse and Matt too! being so sweet and supportive. gosh this video warms my heart!
🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Lekkkkkkkerrrrrrrr👋🏻
Gaio CLEARLY is living his best life!! He is licking and chewing so much, love to see it!❤️❤️
Your connection with your horses...special and your kisses to them...heartwarming.
“It sounds stupid but I just think about it . . . “. No, it isn’t stupid Jesse, it is horse wisdom. You have got it, a gift that not many people bother to cultivate, so well done. It is a pleasure to watch you working this horse. Thank you for the video.
That’s what I thought! Also, horses are masters in reading people and they notice even the slightest change in energy. Jesse's way of thinking really is inspiring to me.
Giao seems to be a very intelligent horse and he seems proud of how quickly he has learned to move with the neck rope. He moves so beautifully.
Jesse you are a remarkable person. To take a horse who was abused with bull fighting and have the faith in them to do the neck rope is grand. I think there is a little telepathy between you and your horses. Love watching you.
Gaio is such an intelligent horse. His playfulness shines through as excitement especially when he gets to learn new things. He reminds me of a German Shepherd, fiercely brave and loyal but full of love for those who cherish him. God I love this horse.
Matt: I think it isnt a good idea
Gaio: Im gonna put through the fence
Jesse: I can do this shit
Amazing!!! I'm so proud of you both!.. For me the best part was Jesse saying "thank you" to Gaio and clearly meaning it with his whole heart and soul.. This went so much further than riding with just a neck rope.. This was about trusting each other completely and a taking huge step for both Gaio and Jesse on the road to recovery from Gaio's horrible past and trauma's.. This truly warmed my heart ♥
Gaio may be smart enough to know that under saddle with Jesse means training. I think a horse like Gaio is a "working" horse and this is what he thrives on. He wants to work, he wants to please. I think he'll have a high 'ole time with Jesse and Matt!
It is like he knows the drilles & waits for the cues to deliver the specific script.
At times, he sermed to be searching for a contact with the reins like "what am I supposed to do now? Say something!"
I think it's really sweet the Way Matt worries about Jess trying new things with his horses. I would be in agreement with Mats comments. Jess I think you are fantastic with your horses.
Wow, what a horse, what a rider, what a relationship! Well done.
Gaio was clearly relieved, proud and happy on the neck rope, his whole body changed. Thank you for this video.
If I was the owner of Gaio he would already be yours as a gift. He is your family. It’s wonderful o see him trying so hard for you, and with just a neck rope. I wish all horsemen had such love and patience as you do, Jesse. ❤
Jesse, you are so naturally in tune with horses. Your kind way of handling horses shows that you thoroughly understand horses and take the horses feelings into consideration and treat them in a way so they too are comfortable to create a true partnership - you are a GEM and an examplary horseman!
Gaio’s mouth was quieter during neckrope. Very telling! Love your compassion Jesse.🥰💛
As Matt approaches Gaio at 12:22 Gaio turns his head, looks back & says "don't touch me there" ... hahaha!!! 😁😜 he's sooo dang smart, always watching anything that approaches him or gets a bit too close to him, like when he passes the gate. He's all about guarding/protecting his body, must be the 'bull thing'. 🥺 But the head & neck shaking on just the rope is maybe him saying ...
Daddy! I'm free, see? nothing on my head & I'm sooo happy about that! Sweet! 😆
Two gorgeous guys and a gorgeous horse in a gorgeous arena surrounded by gorgeous shrubbery and flowers. I love the bit-less bridle and the neck rope riding. What a pleasure to watch.
Impressed by Jesse's manner with all his equines. He is patient, kind, forgiving, while also being
encouraging.
Matt says " I more like the horse yeller"😄
I loved how Gaio listened to Jesse and could be so collected in his gaits. I think this horse definitely responds to his rider’s kindness and encouragement-plus Jesse is a great rider. He said, “This sounds stupid, but I just think about it,” when he wanted to transition Gaio. It’s not stupid: it shows empathy and harmony; very Zen. Keep thinking about it, Jesse!
Jesse you are already the neckrope-man. You prove us that trust and great partnership can bring you very far with any horse. Amazing video! ♥
He looks so happy and relaxed, really enjoying the freedom. And also proud, like he's saying, "Look, Jesse, I can do this!" he wants to make you proud of him.
Not a ‘horse person’ but even I could tell how happy that horse was trying that out with you. Well done both of you! ❤
Seeing Gaio so happy and full of love for you is just incredible. He looked so happy on the neck rope, he knows you trust him and he in turn trusts you. You really are healing him Jesse, and, I too, hope he can be with you forever, you both deserve it. You're an amazing trainer, nothing forced, with kindness, building trust and love. I smile the entire time I watch one of your videos. 🥰
What a beautiful connection you have with him, I like how Matt put in, your way of going and connection is like horse whispering. It is so clear you enjoy him so much and are so proud of him, dispite what may seem as quirks and uneasy moments, you understand him well enough that makes you such a good match to him. He's able to display all his quirks because he knows you love him for him, dispite what he's been through he did not become a shut down horse, or you've helped him to find himself again. Very much enjoyed!
Wow! That was amazing, Jesse. You have such a beautiful connection with Gaio, and he really seems to enjoy working with the neck rope. You're also brave and have an incredible seat. Good to see Matt there with you.
Love Gaios videos! He so wants to please and he picks things up pretty quickly. You know Jesse everyone is supporting Gaios journey and willing him to do well!
Well done, Jesse and Gaio. This is so much nicer than rigorous dressage. You can be so proud of your achievement. Jesse, your empathy for the animals is beautiful.
One of the BEST videos of the two of you with your horses together, lots of fun banter and Jesse believing in Gaio....just awesome!!!
This was incredible to watch. I loved how Matt said he was concerned, but he knows you wouldn't do it if you didn't think Gaio was ready for it. You know Gaio so well and you are very gentle and patient with him, I'm so happy he got the chance to heal with you. I wish you both all the best and I'm sure he's gonna improve and grow so much with your guiding!
I actually enjoy seeing his head tossing when you relax on the reins/when you're just on the neckrope because he's seeking your contact and I think with his background, that shows a great deal of trust in you, to be looking and trusting in you to guide him :) Lovely work as always.
I believe in Gaio. I think trust has been his issue but has learnt that Jesse treats him with huge respect and consideration. Well done Jesse!
Gaio loves that bush he attacked it last time and you're response was perfect when matt nearly gave himself a hernia over it its Autumn 🤣🤣love how cheeky gaio is and you allow him to be his inquisitive cheeky self can't wait to see more of the 3 of you
Gaio read somewhere that pink cosmos flowers are very nutritious & healthy snacks for fire-breathing Lusitano stallions! But ah....let's not talk about "last time"; better to keep the garden lover unaware of that little crunchy moment...(giggle) 🤫😜
Your usual banter with Matt at the beginning had me laughing as usual! Like when he started the piaffe 😂 Matt’s reaction was hilarious! BUT THEN when he was just on neck rope and you took that halter off I could see your emotion of how amazing amount that was after all your work with him. Jesse that was a beautiful moment and that whole ride was wonderful to watch. So glad you found him in your life and could give him a life he deserves after all he has been through! Warms my heart ❤
It was also so cute to see Matt’s Concern, and also his support and compliments! 😄 oh and does he know Giao ate the same flower last time you had him at home 😬 wink wink 😉😂🤣😂
It was also so cute to see Matt’s concern, but also his confidence, support and compliments towards you! Does he know Giao ate the same flower 🌸 last time you were at home with him. 😬 wink wink 😉 You also said then “It’s autumn anyways!” Cracked me up 😂🤣😂
Let’s bring neck rope riding to international competition. That would be so interesting they’ve eliminated whisker trimming , they monitor noseband tightness , now they are looking at making double bridles and spurs optional. So who knows what we can do to change it all 😊. Excellent work Jesse !!!
I think, after Annies goodbye to shows video, this is my favorite of your channel so far. The progress with Gaio, the excellent horsemanship you're showing there and the very outspoken love Matt shows you, it's adorable, super sweet. Love it so much! More Gaio content please! :)
The gratitude you shared with him at the end. Oh my heart 😭🥰.
Thank you Jesse, for being such a lovely example of what horsemanship can be 💖
This video with you and Gaio is a joy to watch! At 9:51 - your contagious laughter, "He's very playful right now. Like, if I pet him too much he will be jumpy." Truly glad Gaio has you in his life! Wishing each of you, many blessings. ♥
It was amazing. BRAVO JESSE! Gaio seemed to have enjoyed it. Also: well done Matt. You seemed really worried at first but managed to restrain your protective instincts ;)
Very impressive. You are lovely and quiet with that horse. Fantastic.
I love that you listened to the horse and decided "it's okay, canter is for next time". That alone is such a valuable lesson for everyone watching, to know that it's not about pushing and pushing for the next thing. It's about listening, giving, taking, listening, balancing of energies. That is where ultimate connection, relationship, and safety stem from. This was a great video, thanks!
Gaio looks so relaxed and frisky and very smart. I feel like with some other rider we would never see this side of him.
Wow what a good boy Gaio. Your right about him feeling proud of himself and so he should. I think the mess at the gate was him taking on Matts stress and worry although Giao’s stress eased quicker than Matts but in the end it was Matt supporting Jesse into trying canter. Well done team.
Aaaaaaw you are both so loving... they love you
I love your videos-just in general. They’re so good. But I also must comment on the absolute beauty of all of the gardening in your grounds. Gorgeous and lush!
Jesse, Gaiao looks so pleased with himself. Just trust your horse (leave his history at the arena gate), he really wants you to trust him! and have relaxing fun.
He did BEAUTIFUL!!! ❣❣💋💋🐎🐎🐎
Gaio seems genuinely happier without the bit and even more so with just the neck rope. He has such beautiful footwork. All-around much improved. No stress or anxiety!!
Wow, Gaio looked so much more comfortable with the neck rope in terms of how much he was moving his mouth etc! He really made so much progress very quickly; that speaks very much to the team you two have formed and how close the two of you are. Wonderful! Plus Matt being the alert protective Dad is so sweet!
He seems like a really kind horse, it's lovely to watch you both doing so well.
Wow, wow, and WOW! Got tears in my eyes when he did the collected trot in perfect balance with only the neck rope! Absolutley amazing job 💛
Good Boy! what a beautiful rider he is. What a talent!
I love all the Gaio content you've been posting lately
Gaio’s passage is utterly beautiful. He has so much suspension in his movement. Thank you for sharing your journey. 💜🙏
@Belinda Barham Exactly ⬆️
What Gaio offered was amazing...what a horse! So safe and blessed to have you.
Watching the both of you is such joy and you remind be of red white and royal blue movie from Amazon prime love to both ❤❤❤❤
If anyone can help this horse shine it is Jesse. Great job Jesse. I love watching you with him, great progress
Jesse I’m so impressed with progress you’ve made. Please be careful. I can’t stop laughing at Matt’s anxiety and his hysterical comments .keep up the extraordinary work.
What a beautiful ride.
You Jesse and Gaio are both sensitive, clever and very willing to learn.
Much respect to you both!
Goed Zo Gaia! Jesse I loved watching him experiencing being bitless, using a neckrein with you in the saddle. To think this boy has gone from bullfighting arenas, wearing cruel, extreme bits, feeling sharp spurs, his every move tightly controlled , in an atmosphere of attack, pain, blood and death …
To meeting you, who cared to understand him and gave him all the time and work he needed to learn to trust people , be ridden willingly and to let his brave, funny, brilliant personality shine through… I think he’s linked his heart with your’s Jesse.
Nothing to worry about, his tossing his head a few times. He’s just testing that he’s really bridle-free and having a bit of fun with something new. Look how beautifully he responds to Jesse’s leg signals! Yaaaaay Gaia!!
Very nice comment on Jesse and Gaio
I love your videos having fun with the horses. It really gives me more motivation to just go out and enjoy my horses instead of always trying to accomplish something every time I’m with them. It’s easy to forget in daily life that sometimes you just need to play around and have fun.
Oh my God perfection. The way to train your horse is never to be heavy-handed. you build that trust, and you train them in increments showing them a little more every few days. You ride them in the routine they know. Eventually the horse, and you become one. Then the shifting of your weight will tell the horse what you want. I can see that man and that horse have learned to read each other.
Looking forward to seeing Jesse and Gaio in Equestrian Olympics. Gaio looks a little stiff and hesitant but he is changing so much with Jesse's skill and love. They are a joy to watch.
Gaio looks so happy being able to express himself. Nice job
That was really brave of you Jesse, what a talent you possess! Gaio's a keen pupil too, well done both. ❤❤
You have the most beautiful connection to these animals. To see him rode in just a neck rope was fantastic. He has the most beautiful movement. The Best is yet to come
An amazing feeling for Gaio to realise he can be ridden with no physical control on his head. Happy for him and for you Jesse. Was a wonderful thing to see.
I just love Giao! He was such a good boy and you can see how proud he was of himself. Great job you two!
Gaio is such a good boy, and I’m glad you are so gentle with him, Jesse. You two deserve each other.
My first time seeing this horse. That first time when he found his rhythm -I was was like Wow!
And your description of how you ask for neck stretch. Jesse, it didn’t sound stupid at all. It was clear.
Gaio has always been my favorite ever since the first video! He’s just so beautiful and has such a big personlity.
You two and your different energies. Love it 😂🥺 also Matt worrying but also trusting Jesse. Lovely ❤
You do so well with horses. You will have him cantering in neck rope soon. I have to remember he was a bull fighting horse which takes a large amount of energy. Which he shows. But what a beautiful he is. Always loving you
Omg what a huge step! He really enjoyed that! Good job being brave and trusting each other!
Good job Jessee. You are made for each other. He seems softer without the bridle. Fantastic job!
He's a beautiful horse. You should always match your wardrobe to his wonderful contrasting mane and coat.
This is the sound of 2 hands clapping! It's really just wonderful.. I can't say more than what has been said below but my heart is just so happy to see the progress Gaio is making with you.
Wow well done both of you Gaio was obviously less stressed in the mouth on neck rope, it seemed he relished in your trust, he's so bright and talented he needs that trust. Your work Jesse is hugely important to the wellbeing of horses thank you for trusting in yourself and the intuitive connection you have with these beautiful beings. loved it
I bought 2 beautiful Lusitanos from Portugal both stallions and I NEVER rode them with bits. I am English and in the uk A rope halter or a plain bitless bridle with no poll pressure or noseband. I totally trained and retrained them and they were the most wonderful beautiful horses. One of them had run wild for 8 years. I used to train other youngsters or problem horses from my main boy. I cannot stand all the metal a stuff they put on horses. Lusitanos are just the most wonderful, noble animals. ❤❤❤
I love watching Jesse and Gaio. I hope eventually he will be yours.
Gaio is showing you he wants to move home.... he loves the peace, flowers, friends... I hope one day this can happen for him. Just beautiful to watch you both together, how can you not smile and be so proud of y ou both.
Omg in those first seconds Matt had 112 on speed dial i’m sure 😅. He was so nervous for you guys haha. Well Matt is more relaxed now, so i’m gonna try to watch further without laughing out loud 😂😂😂
With Lusitano's that are used in the Bull Ring they are usually trained to a high degree but tend to be very highly strung, this is what they look for when choosing a youngster for training, everything is 100 mile an hour , Gaio is now learning to slow things down, you can see it gradually clicking in his brain, keep up the fantastic work Jesse x
Jess, you are so kind. What a lucky boy he is. This was a joy to watch.
Jesse is so kind he instructs Matt when removing the bridle... "Oh gently please...!!!! He didn't want Matt 2 scare or spook him!!! 🤗🤗🤗👏👏👏🥰!!!
